Mary

Her memory still fills me, like air fills my lungs,
This young broken down body, moves slowly,
But these hands are strong, an my steps still have a purpose
But Lord, How I doubt it will keep going
~~~
My Shadow crashes the waters stillness,
Causing ripples an makin waves,
As She sits by the river,
And I don’t know how I’m gonna do it,
Lord; How can I tell you,
My dear, all that lives is born to die,
And I don’t know if I can stay an play no more
I have looked out my window an see you walkin,
All alone among the trees,
No matter where you look or are walkin, your gaze will always have me hypnotized,
Why is it you never feel or see me watchin,
~~~
Mary, my Beautiful Maria… Eternal lover an caretaker of my soul,
Why don’t you ever let me see you with your long hair down,
Maybe its time you turn an look it, is this how you want it to stay
All that’s born is meant to die my darling, until the Eternal father,
comes an takes his children home,
~~~
I don’t know how I’m gonna tell you,
No I don’t know how I can do it,
Darlin, I’m just a poor boy an a rambler, watchin you from the dark side of town,
Oh my darlin senorita… I know you’re a child of nature, but I seen you sing an crying
And you have a name for everything
My lovely hippie gypsy, I seen you dancin,
Ridin tigers and kissin tiny flowers, when you thought my eyes were turned away,
I don’t know what I can say about it, when I know your ears are turned away
Oh, oh my very special darlin, is that the way you think it ought to stay,
Oh… I don’t believe that’s it wise, No, I don’t believe that its right, Oh No I don’t my Love, no, no I don’t
And I don’t know how I’m gonna tell you, I don’t know how I can leave
But I know I’ll always love you, casting my shadow down by the river side
